Forgotten NPCs
Names, motives, and half-finished favors vanish between sessions. The table notices before your notes do.
Hosted Discord co-pilot for human DMs
The campaign memory that stays true.
Always-on continuity for characters, places, events, and summaries—grounded in what actually happened at your table. Invite the official bot, open the dashboard, and keep the human DM sovereign. GlyphKeeper never invents campaign canon.
The problem
Long campaigns deserve better than scattershot notes
Experienced DMs on Discord know the pain: the story is rich, the table is invested—and continuity lives in twelve places, none of them trustworthy.
Lost plot threads
Open questions scatter across chat history, voice notes, and “we’ll get back to that.” Months later, nobody owns the thread.
Inconsistent notes
External docs drift from what Discord already said. Two truths appear—and neither is sealed.
Bookkeeping killjoy
Post-session write-ups steal the high of a great night. Momentum dies in a blank document.
Your campaign already has a truth. GlyphKeeper keeps it sealed—and available at the table.
How GlyphKeeper works
From account to grounded summary
A clear loop for live play: join the waitlist, sign in with Discord, invite the official bot, bind the campaign, and keep memory under your control—no infra to run. Public self-serve checkout is not open yet.
-
Sign in with Discord
No password store. Hosted access is waitlist-first while we stay on private staging. One account can own multiple campaigns across multiple servers when the paid path opens.
-
Invite the official GlyphKeeper bot
Add the always-on multi-tenant bot to your Discord server(s). You never create a Discord application or host a process yourself.
-
Bind a campaign & start a session
Create and bind a campaign to a channel (one campaign per channel), then open play mode when the table sits down. Co-pilot turns and durable extraction stay tied to the active session.
/campaign create/session start -
Ask grounded questions; capture durable events
Use
/ask queryfor grounded recall of established canon, citing authoritative records with zero invention. Key moments extract as candidate proposals for DM review. -
Inspect & edit in Discord or the web
Timeline, manual event logging, note imports, recording transcriptions, and entity relationships share one source of truth across Discord and the web dashboard.
-
End session → trusted summaries & export
Session and campaign summaries regenerate from stored truth only. Export JSON (schema v1.0.0) and Markdown from the same snapshot at any time.
/session end
Comprehensive co-pilot suite
Engineered for the table that already exists
Deep continuity without the bookkeeping burden—and without handing your world to a chatbot that invents silent canon.
Grounded memory & semantic recall
Authoritative PostgreSQL records and campaign-scoped pgvector semantic search. Answers cite stored truth and provenance receipts—never a generic model's imagination.
Session 0 & DM Planning Cockpit
Capture campaign tone, PC sheets with DM-only secrets labeled, and character bonds/ideals/flaws. The pre-session web planning workspace weaves player backstories and active threads into future session seeds.
Generative Co-Pilot Toolkit (25 Sparks)
25 live /improv generator kinds: NPCs, villains, shops, taverns, job boards, house rules, backstories, rumors, clues, sidequests, complications, monsters, sites, rooms, traps, puzzles, and afflictions.
Living Scenes, Economy & Antagonists
Table-backed shopkeepers with stock, taverns with secret plot hooks, town job boards, party/character purse tracking (/campaign funds), /campaign buy with DM confirm, and structured villain packages.
Secrets, Intrigue & Bastions
High-stakes private player secrets delivered via DM-gated bot DM, portable Lazy-DM clue banks, living deity builders, faction attitude tracking, and /campaign downtime & bastion sparks.
Magic Item Studio & Harvesting
Magic item creation with campaign-grounded costs, component harvesting via /campaign item harvest promoting directly to inventory, and spell draft suggestions.
Adaptive Planning & Web Workspace
Conversational web session planner (loose plans with contingency tags, never rigid scripts) + live Discord /plan open & /plan adapt hops to pivot when players go left.
Session Audio Capture & Candidate Inbox
Upload a session recording on the web. Transcription feeds a candidate inbox. It is evidence, never silent canon. The DM confirms. GlyphKeeper does not join Discord voice.
Live Session HUD & DM Screen
Real-time web live HUD workspace (NOW / PULL / RECENT) providing the DM with instant 5-second situational awareness for who is present, what they want, and active threads.
Current-generation recall
Semantic readers use the current eligible embedding generation. Wrong / Not Canon immediately drop stale vectors. Pin, archive-season, and object-storage compaction are not in this release.
Absent Player & Agency Protection
Opt-in, consent-required /absent lifecycle for missing players. Bot-mediated actions are tagged and reviewable; player agency and sovereign DM judgment remain inviolable.
Co-DM Governance & Dual-Format Export
Owner-managed Co-DM allowlist. One-step trust corrections on the web (Wrong / Not Canon) and Owner /ask forget, restore, purge, and rewind. Dual JSON (schema v1.0.0) and Markdown export from the same snapshot.
Live Discord experience
Contextual co-pilot surface that stays out of your way
No command-line fatigue on Saturday night. Eight slash names, hops instead of a ninth command, and draft-to-promote reviews.

Philosophy
Not an AI DM. Not another notebook.
GlyphKeeper is a Discord-native continuity layer for a campaign that already has a human DM. It remembers what the table established—never an autonomous DM, a rules engine, or a transcript dump.
Full AI Dungeon Masters
Invent & take over
They generate plot, play NPCs as gospel, and slowly replace the human’s creative authority. Fun as toys—dangerous as campaign truth. GlyphKeeper will not run your game for you.
Pure note-taking tools
Outside the table
Wikis and docs live away from Discord. They don’t hear the session, don’t extract durable beats, and drift the moment you’re tired—leaving two competing truths.
GlyphKeeper
Live Discord + sealed memory
Always-on co-pilot in the channel. Structured records as authority. Owner and Co-DMs decide what endures. The human DM stays sovereign; continuity stays sealed.
- Memory is the source of truth. The model narrates around retrieved state; it never invents silent canon.
- Sparks are drafts; Promote writes canon. Owner and active Co-DMs retain explicit, sovereign control over durable memory.
- The bot is a co-pilot—a continuity engine, never an autonomous DM, rules adjudicator, or combat engine.
- Continuity over pure simulation. Long campaigns feel personal and continuous so you can focus on the table—not combat engines, CR math, or auto-buys.
Not an autonomous DM. Not another notebook that forgets what Discord already said. Continuity you can trust.
